  1. Gerri-

    That would be awesome. I love my monotron too but rarely use it for any musical applications in regards to melody or harmony. Would love to see a keyboard in this ilk.

  2. If they can sell the Monotron for around $60 they can surely make a more advanced version ind the sub-$200 range…..as a very, very poor musician this is what dreams are made of, cheap analog synth
